Shut Delaney Hall down, NOW.   Today, @menendez.house.gov and I went to Delaney Hall because of the inhumane conditions we've been hearing about.   What I saw and heard is absolutely unacceptable.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

More video from today at Delaney Hall. In the background at the start you can see Andy Kim trying to help a man ICE was beating in the middle of the street.

An unusual coalition of people across the political spectrum have banded together to rally against a border wall in the Big Bend. n.pr/4nS3pjV

As U.S. kamikaze drones guided by Elon Musk’s Starlink network began to make visible gains in the war against Iran, senior SpaceX officials reached a conclusion: The Pentagon should be paying more for access to their satellite Wi-Fi network.

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

BREAKING NEWS: Two detainees have been freed from the Delaney Hall Detention Center after detainees began a hunger strike inside the facility & organizers started protests outside the facility on Friday (both are still ongoing), & after Governor Sherrill was denied entry into the building today.

“We’re not here for trouble… we’re just here to see our family members.” Outside Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark on Day 4 of the hunger strike, a 10-year-old whose father is detained inside confronts masked guards, asking why they won’t show their faces. WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social LIVE ⬇️

NJ Senator @andykimnj.bsky.social pepper sprayed at Newark ICE detention center, which is owned by for-profit corrections company GEO Group. Feel like this should be a big thing. www.nj.com/news/2026/05...

My son and his producer and Andy Kim just got tear gassed in the face.

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior." Hoffman is the Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender.

No matter what deal they do, the war has effectively given control of the Strait to Iran. What a masterclass in incompetence by Trump and his team.

WHITE HOUSE: "The President is simply going to the hospital for his third annual check-up in 13 months. Nothing to see here. And, no, doctors are *definitely not* monitoring him for dementia or putting more IVs in his hands because he's seriously ill. I fact, forget we even said that, OK?"

There's a hunger strike in the Newark Delaney Hall detention center due to the poor conditions and they're blocking the governor and MOC from conducting oversight youtu.be/jEbCw3GFMlc

This system is failing countless families and right now it seems like we can’t even count our own elected officials to prioritize these families! Voting in your midterms matters, we need people in power who truly represent us! She was denied entry and left… Credits: @hereswhykevin.bsky.social

On June 5th, 1981, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control first reported on what would become known as HIV/AIDS. This June 5th, a Friday, ACT UP New York will be marking the 45th anniversary of the AIDS epidemic with a candlelight vigil and march, starting at the NYC AIDS Memorial. Save the date.

85 days ago the Trump regime murdered at least 175 people, including over 100 children when it bombed an all-girls elementary school in Iran. I have not forgotten this now, and I never will - neither should you.

This makes me furious @nytimes.com

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

They lie. They cheat. They profit. I'm fighting to ban members of Congress AND the president from trading stocks, because no one should be profiting off the backs of the people they were elected to serve.

www.theguardian.com/technology/2... Maryland has banned grocery stores from surveillance pricing. This is a very #goodthing! Let's hope all the other states follow suit, too. #positivity #positivevibes

Even with federal grants largely restored, scientists say the Trump administration is still preventing those funds from reaching them. The consequences, they say, are already becoming clear.

And... we're back to threats. The cycle of: 1) Threats 2) Lies of an imminent peace deal 3) Positive media coverage for that 4) Evidence of no deal, and nowhere close to Iran making concessions 5) Pretending not to care about a deal he transparently wants 6) Threats Took about three days this time

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

The broccoli has been harvested in this field so "Salvador" is in the field gathering the irrigation pipes used to water the crop. After this they will can clear out what is left of the broccoli and plant a new crop of vegetables. #WeFeedYou

One data center using as much electricity as your entire city, as much water as thousands of homes, and being way too loud — and your township signed an NDA. Tell state lawmakers to stop NDAs between data centers and local governments: https://loom.ly/kEDHYRY

“It fails, or it blows up.” Officials just ordered mass evacuations across SIX Orange County cities after a leaking chemical tank at an aerospace plant was deemed likely to catastrophically fail. Authorities warn the volatile tank could either EXPLODE or spill 6,000–7,000 gallons of what

Congrats to everyone who fought and won against the Pennhurst data center!! 🎉 And thank you @senatormuth.com for being the leadership we need in this fight! We all need to band together every time these pop up bc we all will suffer the effects. We all breathe the same air, drink the same water.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

That ending was absolute perfection. 😭❤️ youtu.be/VXpTa8C4zHs

33 years. Countless laughs. One hell of a writing staff. Tonight, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert signs off. The writers who made it an institution — our members — go out the way they came in: with integrity, solidarity, and the best jokes in the room.

Is America ready for the 'double wave'? It's a fusion of new Democrats pushing a sclerotic party to the left on everything from Israel to data centers and Trump's unpopularity ending the GOP reign in Congress A tsunami comes for DJT...and Dem elites. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/demo...

JUST IN: Police officers' suit to block $1.8B Trump 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' goes to Judge Richard Leon (GWBush/DC). Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Rep. Jamie Raskin is introducing legislation to block the Trump slush fund. The bill would bar the use of any federal funds to back the settlement and would also create new restrictions on payouts generally — including barring anyone convicted of rioting at the Capitol from receiving funds.
